Development[]

FUEL TV was launched in 2003 by FOX. In 2007, the 100% Portuguese-owned company FLUID Youth Culture, S.A. reached an agreement with FOX in order to represent FUEL TV in Portugal. The following year, FUEL TV was launched in Portugal in partnership with the network service provider MEO.

In the period between 2010 and 2014, the companies expanded their business to the EMEA region. FUEL TV EMEA, S.A. (former FLUID Youth Culture, S.A.) launched FUEL TV in over 40 countries in the EMEA region, reaching 8 million households. In 2014, FUEL TV EMEA acquired the channel from FOX. Since then, the channel has been launched in 100 countries around the world, including China where it was launched in February 2018, and has reached over 500 million people.

Today, FUEL TV is present in over 102 countries in Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and Central America.
